Seven-time hurdle winner; only his third run over fences when second here a month ago but never went a yard here on Saturday and was pulled up in this new aids combination.

9yo whose losing sequence goes all the way back to September 2022 but he returned to form when second over C&D (soft) last month and is also fine on good ground; a tongue-tie is added; possible player.

J: Charlotte Jones

T: James Moffatt

Seven-time hurdle winner who was useful on good ground in his prime; launched chasing career with two very respectable runs here (2m1f/2m5f) in May and was not disgraced in competitive 2m6f handicap hurdle here on Saturday (albeit finishing behind Sea The Clouds); could have a say.

Form & Verdict
In excellent form over fences when last seen back in the spring and his hurdle mark is 10lb lower; has won in this discipline before and has to be of interest.

Fairly treated and some fair efforts at 2m4f/2m5f before struggling back over 2m in a Class 2; that's readily forgiven and he'll probably run well.

Campaigned over longer trips since September but effective at 2m previously; currently in a consistent vein of form and looks attractively treated, having scored twice off current mark last year; landed this contest in 2024 to boot and holds a fighting chance.

Both handicap wins have come at Bangor where he finished second in an eventful race in June; might be handicapped about right but entitled to have some say.

Regressive 11yo who has not won since 2024; ran well for a long way when fourth (well held in the end) over C&D (good) last month, after a break, and might come on for the outing but his overcome profile remains unconvincing.
